And tell him that most people prefer to spend what little money they have on feeding their kids with very inexpensive food, rather than buy vases of flowers.

People are wishing you well? When did this happen? No one cares about you or your birthday; the only people sending you stuff are sucking up or have an agenda. Anyway, 68? Not 78? ????

Maybe someone can lace his birthday cake with ricin

Oh what a shame the poor sod working on his birthday,  give us a break...

And most PM's don't live within army barracks.

Could have ordered him a 'Happy Meal'.

????

Or send him your electric bill if you can't afford flowers ????

Who in their right mind considered this a news item worthy of publishing?

All it does is antagonise folks, who are collectively thinking 'So bloody what? Who doesn't have to work on their birthday?'

Can't waste a day when you are busy skimming the cream off of the top and salting it away. Busy, busy, busy...

Whoopee <deleted> doo.
